I was browsing the rule sets for both Innovation and Innovation: Echoes of the Past looking for instructions on playing with teams.

My Questions are as follows:

1) Does a team member share my score as well as my achievements? (for Example if I had a 2 score and my partner had 3 score can I achieve an age one card on my turn?). Or do we play our own boards and score while only sharing achievements?

2) Can you play teams with just the base set of Innovation or can you only play teams with Echoes?. I remember seeing teams mentioned in the expansion but not for the base therefore my question.

Thanks

Your team member and you share only the number of achievements that you've collected. Everything else – such as icons, points and cards in hand – are considered independently throughout the game.

Team rules for Innovation were introduced after the publication of the base set. Yes, you can play the base game with teams, and that's the only way I like to play the game when we have four players.

My base set, 1st edition, had a seperate insert that described the 4 player team variant. I've lost or misplaced that.

My understanding though is that the score piles are seperate for the purposes of achieving throughout the game or for special win conditions on some higher age cards, as mentioned by W Eric Martin. But if the game were to end in an Age 11 draw the winning team is decided by the highest combined score. This is the only time combined score would matter.
